This silhouette has been popular to varying degrees since the 60s & has no plans to retire soon. The Linda Farrow Luxe range focuses on reproductions of their own archive & this particular pair has been reworked as ‘Welsh black round’ sunglasses in the 500 to 600 range. Farrows was a diffusion label created under Linda Farrow, which we could say were her standard range including clubmaster & wayfarer type designs as well as classics like these & that is the label in this case. The Linda Farrow label has had a number of stages so far, beginning in 1970 until the founder retired in the 1980’s. This period is best known for the legendary Model 6031 worn by Scarface himself in the cult movie. The second phase of the brand was a re-launch by her son, some 15 years after she retired. Unlike his mother, he is not a designer, so the company then progressed by collaborating with major players in the eyewear design world ( Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang, Phillip Lim, Dries Van Noten, Erdem, Matthew Williamson, The Row etc) in other words, this pair was actually designed by Linda Farrow herself. They are a genuine unsearchable vintage rarity, not to be confused with contemporary reproductions by The Linda Farrow company itself, or anyone else. We specialise in this initial Linda Farrow period of the 70s & 80s & have several dozen in the shop with which to compare. Frame in excellent condition.
